  Oh brother.

  I’m thinking Doug Payne probably wishes Kirts’ supporters had no e-mail access.
  Just saying.

  First off someone needs to e-mail Mathews on how to use grammer check, but more importantly I find it interesting that one of the few voices supporting Kirts comes from OUTSIDE the county.

  I’m suprised Mr. Mathews was able to set down his Pal Mal and Keystone beer long enough to put that mess together.

  Thanks for the laugh and the confirmation that there’s still a ready supply of short buss riders in the PNW DFO,

  Also, I have a letter from a woman who actually lives in Benewah County who agrees with the Handle Extra comment. In fact, she said that the SR has only uncovered the tip of the iceberg re: problems with Kirts and law enforcement in her county. I’ll post it after lunch.

  @DFO - I hope you protect the identity of the anti-Kirts letter writer so that she’s not the victim of Benewah County harassment.

  I wonder if this guy is a TEA partier.

  Mr. Mathews could sell his autographed Richard Butler poster and use the money to pull his trailer to Benewah County. Kirts should then immediately hire this man as his spokesperson. It’s a win for Valleyford AND Benewah County.

  That’s if he doesn’t use the proceeds on a new white power tattoo first.

  DFO,

  The email reminds me of a few phone calls I received on my answering machine last week asking me what I intended to do for the white man? By now they should assume I am not calling them back.
  I appreciated your column this weekend. It was very well done. It takes fortitude and honor to stand up for human rights. You possess both.
  It took many years of education and leadership(Tony, Marshall, Father Bill, Norm and many others) to bring Kootenai County to the level of tolerance we have. Our community overwhelmingly rejects hate.
  I predict Benewah County will overcome this with strong community leadership that demands accountability from their elected officials. But meanwhile(unless the Sheriff proposes an agreement) legislation must be enacted giving tribal police authority to arrest in order to keep their citizens safe.

  Still looking for your letter from a female resident of Benewah County. The situation is indeed complicated and far larger than Sheriff Kirts.

  @ mtngardener re: “Still looking for your letter from a female resident of Benewah County.”

  I decided to run the letter from tribe spokesman Marc Stewart instead.

  This guy needs to sit down with one of our resident Paper Professors. :-)

  Not to knock your decision making process… but we’ve all ready heard from Marc Stewart. He’s a smart guy and his input is valuable, but it’d be nice to hear (read) another perspective.

  Agree with nic. Another perspective is always good,
  especially when more facts are uncovered.
